Update (Feb 27 2025):
This issue ended up being three issues.
1. utilizing esri:visible to control visibility with questions inside of groups/pages caused issues with the conditional expressions I was using to control "require". Once I removed those questions from all groups/pages - it functioned properly. Esri support is still exploring if this is intended (lol) or if a bug is needed.
2. utilizing esri:visible to control visibility with questions inside of groups/pages caused the red error box at the top of the next page right after clicking "next". Once I removed those questions from all groups/pages - it didn't behave that way... mostly because there were no more pages and groups. Esri support is still exploring if this is intended (lol) or if a bug is needed.
3. then there was the behavior of questions turning red and showing the message before they are being interacted with when "require" and "revelant" evaluates to true and uses conditional expressions (so not just yes). Esri says this is an expected behavior, but the oddity is that I have other questions utlizing the exact same "relevant" conditional expression and "require" conditional expressions that do not display as red or a red message when those expressions evaluate to true. So Esri support is hopefully exploring this behavior, but is unclear as they keep saying it's expected behavior.
Survey123 Connect form: I'm noticing really odd behaviors between the conditional required, relevant, esri:visible fields that is really throwing me for a loop.
I have a conditional required question: if referral = yes, then name and date of birth are required. Pretty simple.
However it's requiring it no matter what and when I say required referral = no for another question - it doesn't add a requirement. I'm totally perplexed.
I tried if(${field} = 'Yes','yes','') or selected(${field},'Yes'). Nothing seems to get it to behave correctly. I tried adding recalculate url parameters (web form url embedded in Dashboards in edit mode).
I'm also noticing my required messages are showing before anyone has had a chance to answer the question. Like as soon as relevant or esri:visible is true. And it's announcing them as survey errors at the top when a new conditional required question is shown, especially when navigating page to page.
I'm sure I'll ask someone to put an esri ticket in for me, but figured I'd start here.
Attached is my XLM form (service urls removed). Is there something I'm doing wrong between the required, relevant, esri:visible fields? Like some rule I don't know about? Like esri:visible and required don't mix? I have multi level groups and pages and maybe there's something I'm missing. I'm using esri:visible because there are some questions that I need to calculate even when their not relevant.
Pictured is right after I got to this page (page 2 of 2), automatically showing errors:
That seems weird! Like, sure once I click submit for this page, show the errors.. but not before???
